God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 091

68. Greedy Cult Leader

Kookookookook… … .

Somewhere in Seoul.

Everything around them had turned to glittering gold.

What was originally here, what the terrain was like, and where exactly this location is.

No one could know.

All I could tell was that it was all made of ‘gold’.

“shit.”

One orc, who was particularly large, let out a human curse.

“They say that where there are no ogres, the troll is king. That’s exactly what it is.”

“I am neither an ogre nor a troll. I am an orc.”

A huge orc, opposite the orc lair.

As always, a woman wearing flashy clothes and jewelry.

The greedy cult leader, Lee Si-eun, raised the corners of her mouth.

“It’s more than that. If I had to be specific, then… … I guess you could call it a dragon.”

“gibberish.”

[Item, ‘Relic: Hammer of White Flame (S)’ creates a weak flame.]

Whoosh whoosh.

As Oakjan swung his hammer, white flames blew away the surrounding gold.

Kwaaaaang!

When Oakjan swung his hammer once, the impact caused the weapons summoned by Lee Si-eun to fly away.

Numerous weapons in the form of spears, halberds, swords, axes, swords, and arrows were turned to dust in an instant.

Even if it weren’t for that, it would all melt away because of the white flames and wouldn’t be able to take shape.

Because there were so many weapons, some of them penetrated the shockwave of the white flames and hammers and reached Oakjan’s body.

This actually had the opposite effect.

Oakjan’s trait, ‘Corrupted Will’.

Thanks to the effect of this trait, the existing trait, ‘Indomitable Will (A)’, has been upgraded to S-rank by receiving the power of corruption.

Oakjan was able to convert approximately 110% of the damage received into attack power.

The attack power thus converted was extended back to Lee Si-eun.

Kuuuung!

But even that huge shock wave couldn’t reach Lee Si-eun.

The golden weapons that Oakzan had turned into powder or melted down were once again incorporated into the great golden tidal wave.

The strengthened Golden Tidal Wave completely blocked Oakjan’s attack.

‘To put it simply… … .’

‘They are not harming each other.’

Lee Si-eun continued to attack Oakjan, but was unable to land a successful hit.

It was thanks to Oakjan’s extremely strong body.

There was a reason why Sihyeon classified the guy as a ‘tank’ in the first place.

That doesn’t mean that Oakzenta was at an advantage.

Every time the guy kept swinging the hammer and trying to reach Lee Si-eun.

The golden tidal wave blocked his path.

It was fortunate that Michael’s weapon, the ‘Hammer of the White Flame’, contained divine power, otherwise he would have been swallowed up by this golden tidal wave long ago.

It’s like being sucked into a swamp.

“Phew… … .”

“Persistent bitch.”

“A persistent guy.”

Even though I knew it was a meaningless war of attrition.

The two couldn’t stop.

Because they knew that the moment one of them stopped, the tense situation would tilt to one side.

‘It’s not as easy as I thought.’

Oakjan muttered, aiming his hammer.

Oakjan, who is he?

The second great calamity and a massive legion that ruled and conquered trolls, giant mantises, ogres and orcs.

He was a conqueror who completely dominated the ‘Predator’.

Since then, his characteristics have been upgraded and he has become more powerful, and he has even obtained a new S-class weapon with divine power.

Moreover, he is a being that has been reborn as an orc with the blood of a true ‘conqueror’, with the ratio of ogre and orc blood adjusted to 5:5.

Little did he know that he would be stopped by a player who was now facing his third catastrophe.

Even if the opponent is the current number one ranked, greedy cult leader Lee Si-eun.

‘What kind of monsters are there?’

Lee Si-eun raised her golden sword and muttered while spreading her golden angel wings.

Lee Si-eun, who is she?

A demon known as an absolute god.

He is the contractor of Mammon, the demon god who symbolizes ‘greed’ among the seven deadly sins.

A player who never lost the #1 ranking or MVP while the fallen demon Lee Si-Hyeon was away.

She had millions of followers and occupied a larger area in Seoul-Incheon than any other ranker.

She never imagined that she would be stopped by a mere orc, a foreign race.

‘If this guy is this strong, then his owner, Lee Si-Hyeon, that guy… … .’

Even though he’s currently ranked 3rd, he’ll be much stronger when he comes out with the ‘King’s Attire’.

‘I too must attain the dignity of a king before it is too late.’

Lee Si-eun is thanks to the SS-class trait ‘Inherited Innocence’.

By spending points, you can gain a lot of information and receive benefits.

One of the pieces of information I gained that way was about the ‘King’s Rank’.

Even without that, if you use the power of many gods, your powerful younger brother will rise to the level of king.

Unfortunately, he was no longer able to be an opponent.

Even though she made a contract with Mammon, no matter how much she drank.

“Get out of the way, orc.”

“That can’t be.”

“Yeah… I knew it. Okay.”

Lee Si-eun’s eyes shone golden.

“Let’s see the end.”

Lee Si-eun’s golden wings spread wider.

I began to blend in with the golden tidal wave that surrounded me.

“Hello.”

“Yes, Master.”

The short-haired woman who had been kneeling behind Lee Si-eun and praying silently got up.

Tzuzuzu, that is.

Something golden came out of her body.

Soon, I started to be absorbed by Lee Si-eun.

[Absorbs the energy of the seventh apostle, the greedy one of goodness, ‘Hayera’.]

Rumble, rumble.

I couldn’t tell for sure though.

Oaken could tell.

That’s not normal, it’s different from before.

‘I can’t leave it like this.’

Different from before.

Oakjan picked up the white flame hammer with both hands.

Then he activated the runes on the bracelet that Shihyeon had given him, a replica of Draupnir.

[Item, ‘Draupnir-Replica (D)’… … .]

At that moment when I was trying to make perfect preparations.

Oh my god.

“huh?”

Cracks appeared in Oakjane’s replica of Draupnir, and soon it shattered into pieces.

[Item, ‘Draupnir Replica (D)’ is destroyed.]

[The fallen king, Lee Si-Hyeon, appears.]

Kugu Palace.

The replica of Draupnir shattered and a yellow light appeared in the remaining fragments.

Those lights came together to create a gate.

“This?”

“master?”

Finally, a player with a purple coat and a Japanese sword appeared.

No, ‘King’.

It was Lee Si-Hyeon.

“You held up well.”

Sihyeon stepped forward, tapping Oakjan on the shoulder.

“Now leave it to me.”

“… … Lee Si-Hyeon.”

“Sister, no, the greedy cult leader, Lee Si-eun.”

Sihyeon’s eyes glowed black.

“go.”

“… … .”

Lee Si-eun swallowed dry saliva after seeing the vision.

‘It’s different… … .’

Even if you use points for the SS-class trait and genetic innocence, the information on the vision does not appear.

There is only one such case.

This was a case where the opponent was of a higher ‘level’ than oneself.

‘The system message also reveals that he is the Fallen King… … The information cannot be confirmed due to his genetic innocence.’

Looking at the guy’s earrings, it looks like he’s acquired a new divine item.

Then it would have become even more powerful.

‘Even with Hayera’s power, you can’t win.’

It wasn’t that I couldn’t guarantee the outcome.

As of now, there is no way to win.

In a situation where the opponent is stronger than expected and the damage to the Greed Cult has increased, it is clearly unreasonable to charge forward even more.

However, he could not delay any longer in attaining the status of king.

“Pass the throne over.”

Lee Si-eun said.

“Then go quietly.”

“That won’t work?”

“Why? Aren’t we family? We should help each other and survive in times like this. Isn’t that right? Our only blood relatives.”

“What? Only at times like this? You’ve never come looking for me in your entire life.”

“… … .”

Lee Si-eun was left speechless at Si-hyeon’s words.

I wanted to say, ‘There was a reason for that,’ but that was only for a moment.

In any case, it was true that he had killed his younger brother’s only guardians and then left.

I couldn’t get any words out.

“Reverend?”

At the sight of Lee Si-eun looking visibly flustered.

Rather, Hayera, who was next to him, was surprised.

How can their leader, who has always shown himself to be strong and unwavering, make such an expression?

That kind of appearance was something she had never seen before, not only after the disaster, but even before the disaster began, when she was working in the loan shark business.

“But still I… … .”

“Let me make a suggestion.”

“proposal?”

“Okay, sister. Go. Now is the time to send it.”

“… … It seems like you’re mistaken about something.”

Lee Si-eun’s golden wings began to emit a more brilliant light.

“Didn’t you say you would go if I ‘gave’ you the throne?”

“I think you’re mistaken about something, Sister.”

[Item, ‘Night’s Curtain (D)’ is drawn.]

[Item, ‘Kibisis (A)’ opens its eyes.]

Urrrrrrr.

Covering the gold that was waiting for an opportunity, rippling like water.

A purple curtain of night spread out, and countless eyes opened above it.

And then a vertical line of vermilion eyes appeared above Sihyeon’s head.

“… … .”

“I don’t want to fight with you ‘yet’, so I’m just letting you go.”

“The dignity of a king… … .”

“You know this big, bulky guy over here?”

Sihyeon looked back and smiled.

“He’s ‘my person.’ He hasn’t been hurt or killed yet, so it ends here.”

“you…….”

“Don’t cross the line.”

Phage, phage, phage!

In an instant, golden lightning burst from his crimson eyes.

Astragalus.

Starting with lightning, one of Zeus’ three thunderbolts and the freest of all, amorphous lightning.

The divine items that Sihyeon possessed began to reveal their power one by one.

[The fallen king ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’ is looking at you.]

Lee Si-eun bit her lip at the ominous momentum and message of the vision.

He bit so hard that blood started to ooze out.

And Hayera, who saw that sight, continued to be surprised.

For a while, without saying anything.

Lee Si-eun and Si-hyeon just glared at each other.

But Sihyeon knew.

‘Don’t touch me, sister.’

It wasn’t some kind of baseless confidence or unfounded conviction.

I knew it at least as an enemy.

‘I don’t know the exact reason, but my sister seemed a little weak in front of me. I don’t know if it was because she felt guilty or what… … It was like that even before she returned.’

Tzuzuzu, that is.

‘Furthermore, if they find out that I have achieved the status of a king, they won’t be able to attack me easily. It can’t be helped. They are an opponent I don’t want to fight anyway, and I can’t guarantee victory or defeat.’

At the end of such a suffocating standoff.

“Your eyes look different now than when you were young.”

In the end, Lee Si-eun raised the corners of her mouth as if she could no longer win.

“It’s completely different from the way they looked at me when I killed those two bastards who didn’t even look human. Of course… … They’ve also become incomparably stronger since then. So much so that I don’t have to ‘worry’.”

“But, Pastor… … .”

After raising his hand to block Hayera who suddenly intervened.

Lee Si-eun continued speaking.

“Please step back.”

As Sihyeon expected.

From Lee Si-eun’s perspective, there was nothing she could do but back down.

If you hit hard here and get hurt, the Greed Cult’s power will be greatly reduced.

I couldn’t take that risk.

At least not ‘for now’.

‘Someday… … I will have the chance to regain that throne.’

Tsk tsk tsk.

Lee Si-eun spread her arms.

The surrounding golden tidal wave was instantly absorbed into her sleeve.

Soon the surroundings were revealed.

Somewhere in Jongno-gu, where a golden tidal wave once swept through, this place was literally in ruins.

“bye.”

“… … .”

Without answering his younger brother’s words.

Lee Si-eun turned her back and left the seat.

“Reverend. Then how do I obtain the title of king… … .”

“After the Great Calamity, regional expansion will take place. I should find out if there is a throne in Gyeonggi-do. Ha… … My only brother is getting in my way.”

Even though the plan went awry.

Instead, Lee Si-eun was smiling.

‘I’ve become incredibly stronger. Physically, but also mentally.’

“Tell the other apostles and believers to retreat and gather at Manma Hall.”

“Yes, Master.”

Watching Lee Si-eun leave her seat like that.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“Okay. Luckily, I didn’t see any blood.”

Even though Sihyeon killed Lee Si-eun’s apostle, Ryu Ji-yong.

Even if she knew this, Lee Si-eun wouldn’t say anything.

To her, an apostle who was ‘incompetent’ enough to die in a war like this was nothing more than trash.

“Okjun. As expected, he’s strong. He’s holding his own against the Greedy Cult Leader.”

“If it weren’t for the owner, I would have won.”

“You punk. You’re showing off… … .”

Sihyeon chuckled.

“Now that the Greed Cult has retreated… … let’s gather the rest of the kids. And then.”

Slurp.

“I have to clear the catastrophe.”
